Information Literacy as a Barrier
Barbara J. Ford
ABSTRACT
The 60th General Conference of IFLA, Libraries and Social Development is designed to promote experience sharing on the role played by libraries in the improvement of living conditions. Information literacy addresses new library technologies and library research and training for social development. It is particularly relevant in the science and technology areas.
PAPER
Background
Today most of us have too much information. Each year the number of books and journals published increases; radio and television stations broadcast non stop. A daily edition of many newspapers includes more information than a person would have come across in her or his whole lifetime in the 17th century. In this data rich environment, information consumers must learn to overcome information an xiety and to sift through the information chaos to digest, interpret, and utilize information for sensible decision making. The changes in formats and organization of information mean that users need guidance and may have unrealistic expectations. Information literacy is a concept that has emerged to describe the task ahead. The phrase information literacy was first used in the 1970s, but its current meaning and use came in response to education reform and has become an international movement. Information literate people are those who have learned how to learn because they know how knowledge is organized, how to find information, and how to use information in a way that others can learn from them.

Basic Information Literacy Activities for Prep Classes
These introductory activities are useful for orienting students to information literacy. Each one begins with a question that you can use in a class discussion to introduce the activity. Follow-up activities are available.
1. Why do libraries keep old magazines? (suggested by Chris Fullerton)
Purpose : To show students that information from the past can be instructive and useful. This enjoyable activity introduces students to the library in a non-threatening way; it also counters the common misconception that the World Wide Web makes print resources obsolete. Setting : Regular classroom and library Materials : Back issues of magazines in the library (some are 40+ years old). Ask a librarian what's available. Preparation : Go to the library first yourself and browse through the back issues looking for advertisements that shed light on one or more of the following:
  • How family life was different (or similar) then
  • How people then viewed the future
  • Differences (or similarities) in women's roles
  • Differences (or similarities) in racial issues
  • Attitudes towards smoking or alcohol
Photocopy the advertisements that interest you. Make a reservation to take your class to the library, and inform the librarian about what you'll be doing.

    Information Literacy: FAQs
    What is information literacy?
    Information literacy is a set of abilities that allows an individual to recognize when information is needed, and then be able to locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed information. Put another way, information literacy is the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information.
    How is it different from computer literacy?
    Though related to information technology skills because of the nature of digital information, information literacy is much broader and involves critical reasoning for lifelong learning.
    How does it affect student learning?
    With the expansion of information sources, it is extremely important that our students make informed choices. Exposure to a wide range of material requires competency in selection and evaluation, as well as an understanding of the legal and ethical implications involved.
    Why is it particularly important now?
    Middle States Commission on Higher Education has modified its characteristics of excellence for reaccreditation to emphasize learning outcomes. Among those outcomes is evidence of information literacy on the college, curricular, and course levels.

    Definitions of information literacy From a recent Google Glossary search: Definitions for information literacy from the web
    • Information literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed and the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information in solving problems and composing discourse. It encompasses a set of competencies that will provide for survival and success in an information technology environment. The Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) report identifies information literacy as one of five essential skills that the workplace will demand of employees of the future. Teaching information literacy involves communicating the power and scope of information as well as explaining how information is organized, how it is retrieved through a variety of access sources and tools, and how to evaluate, organize, and apply information to a variety of problems and situations."
